Han character 𱔯

One listed Mandarin reading is zhàn, written in pinyin, the Latin-letter guide to Mandarin pronunciation; it gives a sound, not a definition. The language and surrounding words still matter for interpreting this rare character.

A 2014 study lists this character on page 356 in its account of Hong Kong’s New Territories Hakka. The study uses 19th-century missionary texts alongside later fieldwork. A technical review also records the same form in a Vietnamese chữ Nôm dictionary, a distinct writing tradition; a matching shape alone does not establish matching readings or meanings.
